Heap Sorting and Comparator Usage
Heap Sorting
Given a unsorted array, heap sort transforms it into a descending sequence:
Convert the array into a max heap using heap insertion or heapify operations
Repeatedly swap the root element with the last position, reduce heap size, and re-adjust
Continue untill heap size reduces to zero

Selection Sort and Heap Sort Algorithms
Selection Sort
Core Concept
During each iteration, the element with the smallest (or largest) key is identified from the unsorted portion and appended to the sorted sub-sequence.
Implementation
void selectionSort(int data[], int size) {
for (int current = 0; current < size - 1; ++current) {
int smallestIdx = current;
for ...
